Sundown

Acid rain falling again,
Burning through the holes in my head
A rush of pain,
Disintegrating my identity

I waited so long
For a cure to my disease,
And as i reached for the light,
It was taken from me

Treading through the moonlit woods,
Thanatos calling for my soul
He reached his frigid hand to me,
Promising eternal freedom

The monitor flashes,
The lines fall flat
As the heart stops,
A new torture begins

Walls of white,
Sterile light
Fresh poison in my veins
Castigate me,
Follow me into the light

Dancing nymphs
In the woods
Pan and his pipes
Have come out to play
(viva tierra) sing us a song
Of our beauty
(viva tierra) before the river
Swallows us whole!

Forgotten myths,
Abandoned homes
Crawling in our disease, fest'ring wounds -
The malady of all our dreams
Oh, the world burns before my eyes!
